U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Timothy Lloyd and members of the 153rd Maintenance Squadron, 153rd Airlift Wing, Wyoming Air National Guard, paint the iconic yellow tail scheme on a C-130H Hercules aircraft at the Wyoming Air National Guard Base in Cheyenne, Wyo., March 15, 2026. The three-day process includes sanding, priming, stenciling and painting and is performed entirely in house by the wing’s sheet metal shop. The yellow tail is a longstanding tradition of the 153rd Airlift Wing, representing Wyoming’s colors on every flight, deployment and temporary duty assignment.
